Customer Reviews
Solid
Overall solid informative show. Saying “like” too much and the up inflection at the end of sentences makes it a little tough to listen to sometimes but otherwise A-A+…
Don’t bother
If you want an even-handed analysis of what’s going on in Chicago, don’t bother with this podcast. They can’t give a full analysis of the Shot Spotter software issue. Give me a break Amy!
A must
If you want to know what’s going on in Chicago on the business front then this is your show. Great host.
